Snes/Genesis + N64/PS1 IMO was just so much more impactful I think anyone that played those when they came out would agree.

I could say that about PS1 as it blew my mind coming from comadore 64 and NES into ps1 games but I know looking back that was the mind of a child being blown and it would take a lot more these days. This gen however is doing just that. Nostalgia...ah. What a cruel, fucking lie it is.

Its not really nostalgia, its about how it made you feel at the time that you played it and how good was it for its time. Ps1/n64 games for their time would more mind blowing than games are today, so they would elicit a bigger response from the gamer regardless of nostalgia. Ultimately youre playing mental gymnastics if you're trying to figure out what % of your judgement is nostalgia and what isnt, in the end it comes down to which games did you enjoy the most at the time you played them.
